Have you ever wished that your current fire station 911 printer system:
Would capture incident data from your dispatch center while giving you several options on what to do with it; not just print it out?
Allowed you to keep a permanent log of everything that came from your dispatch center without having to store it all on paper?
Let you use almost any Microsoft Windows compatible printer?
Would let YOU decide what and where data transmissions get printed?
Once it has captured the data from your dispatch center, ADI will:
Store each incident in its own database.
Allow users to perform searches on all data received.
Re-transmit field-selectable incident data to specified text messaging devices and satellite fire stations.
Send dispatch data to station information displays and LED sign boards in your fire station (requires FSID).
Optionally, wait for the call to close and then make specific incident related data available to your incident reporting software applications.
More features are being added all the time...

| Features |
| ADI is a Windows® 2000 / XP application that is ADI is a Windows® application that is essentially standing by in the background of your computer until it detects a data transmission coming in. Using your existing IBM compatible computer, a separate modem (or TCP/IP connection) and almost any Windows compatible printer, you'll be able to effortlessly: |
|
|
Capture all received CAD data on your computer's
screen.>
|
|
|
Record all received CAD data to a log file on your computer's
hard drive viewable by month.
|
|
|
Store all received incidents in a formatted database.
|
|
|
Search log files for any phrase by date range.
|
|
|
Select which types of data transmissions automatically
go to your printers: |
- Condensed dispatch - Initial dispatch (verbatim) - Supplemental - Alarm close (CAD specific) - Available On Radio/Available In Quarters with or without mutual aid (CAD specific) - Administrative Message - Close Summary (CAD specific)
|
|
Select which data automatically gets printed out on a dispatch.
If you don't need all the information that CAD sends you initially, then tell
ADI to only print the fields you want. This is referred to as a "Condensed
Dispatch".
|
|
|
Also, ADI is truly "Rip and Run" compliant. This means
that ADI can be configured to print as many dispatch printouts as you want.
You can even tell it to always print one copy of the dispatch for each of your units
assigned to the response and you can designate which assigned units get a printout
and which don't. For example, an EMS call may have only one unit assigned,
hence one printout; a structure fire may have six of your units assigned and ADI
will print one copy of the dispatch for each of the six assigned units. Maybe
you only want a printout for certain assigned units - just configure it and forget
it. ADI is very flexible. Assigned units are set up in your Box Alarms (Response
Plans) at the dispatch center. ADI will automatically interpret this information
sent to you from the dispatch center at the time of dispatch.
|
|
|
Print to multiple station printers. All transmission types listed above
can be sent to each printer that you set up through ADI. Additionally, dispatch
data can be directed to individual printers by assigned vehicle IDs.
|
|
Receive incoming data via dial-up modem, radio, database
polling, POP3 or TCP/IP (not all dispatch centers can transmit in all formats).
|
|
|
Prevent users from changing settings without a proper
password.
|
|
|
Easily understand and interact with ADI. ADI is
"firefighter friendly" and requires very little, if any, user interaction
after the initial setup. ADI is predominantly menu controlled and is not littered
with confusing and unneeded controls.
|
|
|
ModemCheck will poll
your dial-up CAD modem at a user-defined interval and notify you of a problem with
the modem if it senses trouble. Users can also be notified by the system advising
of a modem failure. ADI can also try to self correct the modem problem and then
notify you if it is successful.
|
|
Capable of being installed as a Windows Service on any
Windows 2000 or Windows XP PC. This allows ADI to run even while nobody is logged
in to Windows. Runs as a standard application on Windows Vista and Windows
7.
|
|
|
|
ADI can re-transmit a Dispatch and Alarm Close to any user in the form of
a SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) message. All you need is an "always
on" connection to the Internet (broadband, DSL, etc.) at your fire station.
This feature is beneficial to department members as well as to members of specialty
teams (technical rescue, dive, hazmat, etc.) in other mutual aid departments who
may need to be notified. ADI's Notification feature may also be counted
as your second means of notification to help reduce your ISO rating. Messages from
ADI can be received on most messaging devices including cellular phones, PDA's,
alpha pagers and PC's.>
|
|
ADI stores all received incidents in an Incident Listing
database. The database is displayed in a separate window that allows you to
quickly see the status of an incident (open or closed) as well as letting you view
the complete incident with just a click of the mouse.
|
|
One of ADI's newest feature is the Incident Data
Sharing and Export option. Third-party software developers such as Saturn Software©
can import data from ADI in to their incident reporting program. Optionally,
ADI can export some crucial incident data fields to NFIRS software vendors
such as FIREHOUSE Software©. Both of these features will allow your incident reports
to be pre-filled with data from CAD.
|
|
"Repeat Mode" allows a fire department with
multiple stations to receive data from the dispatch center via dial-up or TCP/IP
and then repeat it via TCP/IP to as many as nine satellite stations running ADI.
This allows the dial-up phone lines at the satellite stations to be eliminated as
well as solving the problem of all stations not being able to receive all department
alarms due to CAD system limitations.
|
|
ADI is designed to interface with Northrop Grumman/PRC,
New World Systems' Aegis, Intergraph, Positron, LogiSYS and XML data formats.
Other CAD system formats can be added relatively quickly.
|
|
Express Printing allows you to receive a printout of
your dispatch before ADI's modem disconnects with the dispatch center. Great
when your staff is already in-house when the dispatch comes in.
|
|
Remote Log Viewer (included at no charge when you purchase
ADI) will allow your staff to remotely view ADI's Incident Listing from another
location on your network.
|
|
ADI will also interface to FSID.
When a dispatch is received, FSID will suspend its normal cycling and freeze some
crucial dispatch information on the computer's screen in large, easy to read
characters and at the same time will speak some of the key incident data.
Also, if you install our BetaBrite / Alpha Electronic Messaging Signs, FSID will
display some key dispatch data on each sign.
|
|
ADI operates by first capturing pre-formatted ASCII textual data* or XML data from an authorized sender such as a dispatch center. ADI is programmed to recognize the format that your dispatch center's CAD system outputs. Data can be transmitted to ADI by standard dial-up modems, leased line modems, radio or via TCP/IP connections as well as some server polling methods. After ADI receives the transmitted data, it then scans, evaluates and formats the text which is then outputted to printers, its own database, e-mail, cellular telephones, fire station LED display boards, other ADI clients, etc.

*CAD systems that fax text or images of text are not compatible with ADI because they are sending your incident data as an image.
|
ADI Installation Requirements
Be sure to check hardware requirements for FSID if that program will be used |
|
|
* Win2000 requires Service Pack 4. WinXP requires Service Pack 2. Will not run as a Windows Service in Vista or Windows 7. |
